Rhythm by Marc Atiyolil for Para

Marc Atiyolil’s insights into home design and trends have captured the attention of a truly international audience. “Design trends are now as global as commerce and culture. As a Canadian company, it’s not surprising that PARA has responded with a bold and eclectic collection that shows a strong multicultural influence. This hybrid palette pairs spicy oranges and yellows that pulse with island rhythms and mouth-watering purples of homemade preserves. Our colour and design choices here celebrate a bold interplay of traditions. The effect is primal and evocative of tribal adornments, but with a luxurious regal flair.”
